Vote for Obama and WE ALL DIE!!

[Connie_Corleone]

(New Hillary Clinton "fear" ad)

"It's 3:00am and your children are asleep," the voice over says. "There's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call."

"Whether someone knows the world's leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead. It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

The tone of the ad -- which echoes the infamous Daisy Ad from the 1964 Johnson-Goldwater presidential race and the red phone ad former Vice President Walter Mondale ran against Gary Hart in their '84 race for the Democratic nomination -- indicates that the Clinton campaign is pulling out the all the stops leading into the Ohio and Texas primaries.

Mondale's ad, where a red phone rang threateningly in the middle of the night while a voiceover asked voters what kind of leader they wanted to "answer that phone", ultimately worked in his favor: Mondale defeated Hart and secured the party nomination, though he lost in November to Ronald Reagan.

[K Gardner]

1. Yeah, just saw that and threw up in my mouth a little. Next: Mushroom Cloud !

[jgraz]

25. heh -- I thought: And Thanks for Playing: GRASPING AT STRAWS

Cue "lying sack of crap" drop

[Renew Deal]

74. Hillary has officially become Giuliani

First there was the Texas and Ohio strategy. Now this. Do people want 4 more years of fear? I don't think so.

[jgraz]

79. All she needs is the combover

Calling Swamp Rat. :rofl:

[VenusRising]

103. At least we have a response already for Mushroom Cloud.

We'll just get Samuel L Jackson to do his dialogue from the car cleaning scene in Pulp Fiction as a response.

:rofl:

[frylock]

108. superfly tnt!

[Adelante]

2. FEAR FEAR FEAR

:scared:

[John Gauger]

105. Word for word what I was going to post n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

106. I was going to post Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear

but yeah, same here.

An ad you'll never see from Obama.
and WTF ? TESTED? How exactly? Ready? Like they were in '92 when chaos reigned because no one knew procedure and they couldn't get their staffs into the WH?
Like that?

[hobbit709]

3. If there was a REAL crisis of that level

I would expect my leader to still be UP at 3 AM trying to defuse it beforehand.

[enki23]

4. so... she's running ads for mccain now?

.

[Usrename]

52. That's what I was thinking.

McCain lite.

[rox63]

5. These are the same bullshit Rovian tactics the * campaign pulled in 2004

I see campaigning by fear as a form of domestic terrorism. :scared:

[Avalux]

6. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic counterpart of Bush. Disgusting.

Every Democrat should denounce this sort of fear-mongering from one of our own.

[YOY]

7. This is disgustingly republicanesque

I HATE being told to be afraid. Fear is a control mechanism...and to quote an overquoted man "Fear is the mindkiller."

[TwilightGardener]

44. Fear is THE lowest common denominator. That's what her campaign is down to, now.

[against all enemies]

8. Disgraceful - and very Republican.

[bigbrother05]

9. Fear monger

[Renew Deal]

10. This could work against her in the GE.

Who do you want answering the phone? Not Hillary Clinton!

[Occam Bandage]

22. Absolutely. It's more effective in a McCain-Clinton campaign than in a Clinton-Obama.

Frankly, I want the person who recognized that Iraq was a bad idea answering that phone.

[Kaylee]

77. This is just the response Obama gave! kudos.

[Occam Bandage]

97. We Level VI cultists are tapped into the Great Hive Mind.

[invictus]

11. Being the president's wife for 8 years qualifies her to bomb people better?

Clinton's message of "experience" is a lie. She votes for whatever bills or wars that the special interests wants her to pass.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. No being a rock star does.

As he stated he would have no problem entering a sovereign nation to bomb them.

[Voice for Peace]

56. don't keep recycling this nonsense. That is not what he said and your reference is out of context nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

78. he said he will act on AQ in other countries

with military force without the knowledge of host country. Don't distort the words he said. He is another cowboy diplomat.

[fenriswolf]

81. just like we did in afghanastan

and got one of the top al queda officials without killing a bunch of civilians or spending billions of dollars.

[MyNameGoesHere]

92. Holy shit on a shingle

a praise of how the war is being conducted by the idiot in chief? And i suppose you would be happy if Cuba launched missiles into Miami because they were pursuing dissidents?

[Levgreee]

93. No, he said they'd have knowledge, that he'd go to the country first and ask permission...

so you're wrong.

[Barack_America]

17. No, but her inherent hawkishness does. n/t

[Barack_America]

12. Terra! Terra! Terra!

:hide:


:scared:

Did anyone doubt that we would eventually see this tactic?

[Pryderi]

13. ugh...sewer politics. How low will Hillary go? Disgusting.

[HooptieWagon]

91. from the gutter to the sewer...

... and i don't think she's hit bottom yet. She's willing to let McCain be elected so she can run again in '12.

[monmouth]

14. And this is only February....I mean, what's waiting down the road??? n/t

[NeedleCast]

15. Hillary Supporters...Your Opinion on this ad?

Just curious to see where you stand.

[joeybee12]

23. No worse than Obama's Harry and Louise-style ads scaring people

into thinking they'll lose everything they own because of Hilary's healthcare plan...that's a fear tactic too.

[NeedleCast]

26. So it's okay with you?

[joeybee12]

35. Without seeing it, I have to say it's a little over the top...

...but I'm seeing people here singling out HRC as the only person who runs ads that try and scare people...BO is doing it, too...it's not an admirable trait of political campaigns, but what's good for the goose...

[Pryderi]

37. Here's the ad link

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4364676

[joeybee12]

54. Thanks....it doesn;t seem like that great of an ad to me...

...but I think that people here are over-reacting to it...it's not like the Daisy Ad (which is amazing to watch, if you never have) in that fear is the over-riding factor...sure it's there, but there's also the HRC is Satan mentality coming through the posts here coloring their view of that ad.

[Pryderi]

60. Would you call it a "Rovian" ad?

[joeybee12]

62. No, not at all...I think the term Rovian is being tossed around much

too freely...the guy is evil incarnate...an evil genius probably...this is SOP for politics, and lots of SOP is not pretty.

[jgraz]

31. Good point -- Obama should pitch a wild-eyed fit in front of reporters

Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!!!! :rofl:

[Occam Bandage]

42. You're right. Obama should hold a press conference and scream for a few minutes about how unfair

she's being to him.

[jgraz]

51. Plagiarist!

:P

[Harry Monroe]

63. Yes indeed!!

Plagiarising straight from from Karl Rove's playbook!! Hillary is a hypocrite. Another reason in a long line of reasons I no longer respect or support her.

[Occam Bandage]

90. OMG you're right. I'm so ashamed. I'm afraid this means I have to drop out now.

[greguganus]

70. Obama should run the same ad, but with...

...a Bill Clinton look-alike in pajamas answering the phone while showing Hillary asleep in bed.

[jgraz]

98. Or with a woman who clearly isn't Hillary answering

While Bill lies sleeping next to her. :evilgrin:

[sandyj999]

34. Speaking As Someone That Is Still Neutral and Will Vote for Whoever the Candidate is................

I think it's damn stupid. To me it's a sign of desperation and would never persuade to vote for that person in a primary.

[Renew Deal]

38. The silence from Camp Hysteria is deafening

:hide:

[Pryderi]

18. K&R to the top.

[dkf]

19. Watching her campaign has made me doubt a whole lot about her judgment

and now her competency.

I think it has been very helpful in exposing her deficits.

The thing is she likes to demonstrate she understands the problem, but her decision making sucks.

[Occam Bandage]

20. She's turning herself into a diluted version of John McCain.

[Barack_America]

24. She's always been...

A diluted version of John McCain. She's turning herself INTO John McCain. Brilliant general election strategy, that. ;)

[jgraz]

27. Diluted or Deluded?

Or both?

[Occam Bandage]

29. The latter goes with the Mac territory.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

76. hey my Mac is pure democratic.

even my macbook pro.

oh. wait. the OTHER mac.

never mind.

That ad wins the race for lame advertising. Even Romney's crap was better.

Of course, I am still waiting for Hucksterbee to use that SNL skit for his ad. That might really get a few votes.

[NightWatcher]

28. diluted? he hasnt run any commericals that reek of terra terra terra this bad. Shameful

[Occam Bandage]

30. He will.

[Barack_America]

57. Maybe in the general he can borrow this one?

It works better for him than Hillary, after all.

[blocker]

21. Why are we safer with that women, i don't get it?

with the judgement she has, why are we safer with her?

[Mass]

32. Tested and ready to lead? In this case, it is not her, given the state of her campaign.

What I do not want is somebody who did not foresee the crisis in the first place.

[Inuca]

72. "somebody who did not foresee the crisis in the first place."

EXCELLENT point

[dailykoff]

33. I'd want the guy who isn't cranked on meds.

Personally.

[Eurobabe]

36. TERRA, TERRA, TERRA!!

Shame on you Hillary. :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

Last gasps of a desperate candidate...

Put her AWAY BARACK!!

[TwilightGardener]

39. How is Hillary "tested" in such matters? Can someone explain that to me?

[Occam Bandage]

43. She voted to bomb Iraq, which, as the Republicans will tell you, means that

the presence of such a person in the White House acts as a terrorist repellent.

[TwilightGardener]

50. You're right, I suppose the knee-jerk willingness to bomb innocent

civilians with less-than-sufficient information certainly gives her a leg up on keeping us safe. Or something.

[CPschem]

40. shameless

GOP-esque fearmongering.

[Skidmore]

41. When your campaign is run by Republicans,

you put out ads like that. This woman has such poor judgment.

[dailykoff]

46. If it's ringing at 3:00am, it's probably for Bill.

Better just ignore it.

[jmg257]

66. Sweet! LOL!

[Blue_Roses]

80. more like it's 3 am and she looking for Bill...

[BigDaddy44]

86. My how times have changed

If anyone would have posted that 6 months ago, they'd be accused of all sorts of things (including being labeled with the dreaded "F" word). The Big Dog used to be untouchable on DU. Now its open season on him (very funny btw)

[jgraz]

99. Big Dog brought it on himself

He consciously decided to sacrifice his public status for his wife's campaign. Mission Accomplished! :thumbsup:

[IronLionZion]

94. Do those two even live together? let alone sleep in the same bedroom

Bill's probably got all the girls he could ever want and it might cramp his style to have Hillary nearby.

[loveangelc]

47. LOL because experience has worked so well so far...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

48. I launched a massive nuclear attack?

I thought I hit the "snooze" button.

Dang. I wish I'd had more experience.

:scared:

:rofl:

[cali]

49. Too obvious and too late

Too bad.

[soundguy]

53. Ad Sounds Right To Me

With Clinton we vision the types of people her government will have. With Obama it is a crap shoot at this point. Can the guy even bring up a time when he was present when a life or death decision had to made and the leadership he displayed? Hmmmm? Didn't think so.
If you have any doubts about how "plugged in and ready" Hillary is and was, you need to watch Primary Colors (again).

[Connie_Corleone]

58. When did Hillary have to make a life and death decision?

Oh wait, the Iraq War Resolution.

[ClassWarrior]

67. I think Samantha Power and Susan Rice are excellent "types of people"...

...to have in one's foreign policy circle.

NGU.

[SteppingRazor]

82. Yes, because a fictional movie based on a fictional book loosely based on real people...

will tell us everything we need to know about Hillary. :eyes:

[chyjo]

96. Travolta 08'

should be Hillary's new campaign slogan.

you gotta be frickin kidding me.......

[scheming daemons]

55. McCain can run this VERY SAME ad against Hillary!

....

Slash and burn... she's giving McCain all the material he needs....

[Barack_America]

59. Yep. My thoughts exactly.

So far she's run on experience and toughness on terror. Neither of those match-up well against McCain.

[jgraz]

68. No, she's STEALING all of McCain's material -- and using it badly.

By the time McCain starts in on this crap, Obama will be able to just roll his eyes and say "we've already been through this". End of issue.

[Harry Monroe]

61. Straight from Karl Rove's playbook!!!

Hillary is a hypocrite. She just said the same thing about Obama's tactics a few days ago. Another reason I no longer support Hillary.

[Fredda Weinberg]

65. LBJ's playbook. And it's because Obama is vulnerable n/t

[paparush]

64. Rudy Gulliani - Lite

[workinclasszero]

69. FEAR OBAMA!!!

Hillary proves she is nothing more that a Bush-lite, Rovian, fear monger!

She makes me :puke:. I see why she and McCain are such good friends.

They use the same dirty rethug playbook against Obama!

[rolleitreks]

71. "Who do you want answering the phone?" Stan Laurel, but he's dead. n/t

[trof]

73. Um...we're all gonna die anyway. Hillary has key to immortality?

:rofl:

[Major Hogwash]

75. Hillary = McCain. . . . . . it's over.

It's really, really, really over now.

[moondust]

83. Delete.

[oasis]

84. Obama would simply call Hillary to find out what to do.

:dunce:

[jgraz]

102. Right -- if he needs to decide between crying or a wild-eyed rant

[DS1]

85. This is why I'm writing in Jack Bauer

He can reach through the phone and start snapping fingers if needed.

[truebrit71]

87. How Rovian of you Hillary...no wonder you won't get the support of your party...

...even IF you win the nomination...

You are despicable...

When Senator Obama kicks your ass all over the street next Tuesday I hope you do the party, and by extension the Nation, a favour and bugger off back to the Senate where you can carry on the excellent job of enabling your rethuglican master's administration...

Sleeping in the same bed as the man that works in the oval office does NOT equate to "leadership experience"....however, if the First Lady Michelle Obama needs an expert tea-party coordinator I'm sure your "experience" will place you on her short-list for advisors...

:eyes:

[high density]

88. This is completely ridiculous.

It's basically an ad for John McCain. If you want voters to select a candidate purely on the length of experience about who "knows the military", McCain is going to be the guy here.

Clinton really needs to fire these assholes that are running her campaign. They're making Bob Shrum look like a genius.

[crawfish]

89. She's subverting herself with that ad...

If I'm so afraid I want the president to nuke somebody, I want McCain in there.

[jgraz]

101. The clear objective is to subvert Obama

And clear the way for a McCain victory and a Hillary run in 2012.

[kentuck]

95. They never learn!

Everytime they go negative, they slip in the polls. Look for Hillary to be behind in most polls by tomorrow....again.

[zulchzulu]

100. Do we want a pissed off Hillary waiting for Bill to come home at 3AM...

...to answer The Red Phone?

She already votes for wars, so her tendency as a scorned wife waiting for her psychopathic husband to come home after chasing skirt all night would make the World a lot more dangerous.

Jus' sayin'. Two can play this inane game.

[CRH]

104. Who do I want answering that call? ...

a grown up.

[MadHound]

107. Every day, in every way, Hillary is proving that she is becoming more and more like Bushco

Now she's stooping to push the fear button:eyes: Sad, pathetic, and despicable. Just one more reason I can't vote for the woman.

[eppur_se_muova]

109. We all die eventually, so technically, it's true. nt

:hide:
